Third in his previous three outings, including a valuable sales contest at the Curragh earlier in the month, Right And True (11/4 joint-fav) was a decisive winner of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden.

Stepping up in trip, the Arizona colt, trained for the Coolmore partners by Aidan O'Brien, raced close to the pace and led over a furlong out to beat Nobler by three-and-three-quarter lengths.

It was a fifth Ballydoyle-trained winner of the season, all of them achieved in maidens, for 7lb claimer Jack Cleary who said: "He bounced out smartly, got into a good rhythm and got a nice tow into the race by the front-runner. He put his head down and galloped to the line.

"I spoke to Wayne Lordan and he said, after riding him the last day, that he would stay this trip well so I was confident enough coming here."
